Small in Size But Big in Heart



Another picture that is creating an exciting buzz is the horror short Monsters Down the Hall. Clocking in at fourteen minutes, this film manages to tackle topics of neglect, drug abuse, and poverty. Not afraid to provide a message, Monsters Down the Hall also utilizes mystery and scenery to display horror qualities that do not come from the imagination, but from real life. A trailer for this project, which shows at Slamdance on January 23rd, is below, but also check out the website, which has a section labelled "truth." This section will clue horror lovers in to the consequences of drug use on future generations. Then check out this short film if you are in the Utah area.
